Ipsy Glam Bag, February 2014, Review and Swatches

Ipsy Glam Bag, February 2014

Glam bag time! And boy was it a gooder. Loads of full size products that are wearable colours. Nothing like getting stuff for cheap that you'll actually use!
So let's get into it.Zoya Professional Lacquer in Odette (15 ml/0.5 fl oz) Reg. Price - $9.00

This is the second Zoya nail polish I have received in an Ipsy Glam bag. I like getting nail polishes because they always seem to full sized. Also, I always get a colour I would not have picked out for myself and I end up really liking. This colour - Odette, looks an awful lot like the Pantone colour of the year - Radiant Orchid. Not sure if that was intentional, but I'm into it. The polish is thin consistency but it does go opac in two coats. The brush is a lot smaller then I normally like, but it's manageable.

City Color, be Matte Blush, Fresh Melon (0.314 oz/ 8.9 g) $2.99

Really like all three of these makeup products. The blush is a beautiful coral color that blends fantastically on your cheeks. It is very pigmented, so only the smallest amount is needed. I found that it was easy enough to blend out with a kabuki brush after I had gone a little blush crazy. It gives a really nice flush of colour.

The Plump Pout is a glossy lacquer that stains your lips. I really like the colour I got as it is very wearable. I liked it even more after the glossiness was gone. It was beautiful shade of blushing pink. I found the consistency to very comfortable and not overly sticky.

Tini Beauty, Shadow Tint, Ambrosia (0.14 oz) Reg. Price - $18.00

Now, the eyeshadow...I was really hesitant about this product. It just reminds me of some of the older wand applicator eyeshadows from when I was a pre-teen. They creased like crazy and made my eyelids stick together. I haven't tried one since. But holy-moly. This is why I subscribe to Ipsy. I get products that I would ordinarily never purchase myself. I love this product. It is super easy to use, wears beautifully and doesn't crease at all. It blends out very easily with a eyeshadow brush, and can be built up. I have had it on for eight hours and it still looks perfect.
